Simrad PI Remote/Depth
CONFIGURATION
In order to allow the information from the PI Remote/Depth
sensor to be accepted and understood by the PI catch monitoring
system, the PI receiver must be set up correctly. This means that
you must tell the receiver that the sensor exists by entering the
sensor type, communication channels and update rate.
Upon delivery, all PI Remote/Depth sensors are set up with
factory default channels and update rates. Refer to the table in
section
About sensor configuration on page 14.
Note
The sensor and the PI system setup must correspond, otherwise
the communication will not work. To change the sensor setup
(channel selection and update rate), use the PI Configurator
utility. See PI Configurator on page 16.
Basic configuration
Observe the following basic configuration settings:
• When you put the PI Remote/Depth to use, you must set it
up with a unique sensor number. Select the update rate, and
use a channel number according to the sensor’s configuration.
Write down this configuration for future reference. For
default settings, refer to the table in section
About sensor
configuration on page 14.
• On the receiver, the Interference filter must be switched
on. Set it to Level 9 if you have noise problems from other
hydroacoustic sources. Note that this filters will influence the
signal spectrum shown in the
Status
display.
• We recommend that you set the sensor filter to Light .
Configuration of the PI32
This procedure explains how to set up the PI32 catch
monitoring system to access the information provided by the PI
Remote/Depth sensor. For more detailed information about the
PI32 settings and parameters, refer to the
PI32 Operator manual .
Note
In order to set up the PI system you must know what kind of
sensors you have, which communication channels they use, and
how often they communicate (the update rate). You need this
information before you start the configuration.
Do not carry out sensor configuration unless absolutely
necessary.
